Leaden tale of two women in love with the same man, who frankly doesn't deserve even a passing interest from either of them. Supposedly a "sisterhood conquers all" story the characters were 1 dimensional and the dialogue was at times laughable - but not funny. I'm glad you haven't got the running time on the site as then I would know exactly how many minutes of my life I wasted watching this movie.

Typical soap opera story line, but the situation is intense enough to be very interesting. Susan(Gail O'Grady) is a swim instructor trying to hold her marriage together. Her new best friend is Laurel(Lisa Rinna)a psychologist who needs swimming lessons to help rid her childhood guilt of watching her little brother drown. Laurel falls in love for real for the first time, not knowing the man is her best friend's estranged husband. A funeral places all three at the same place at the same time blowing the sordid secret of the husband(Dale Midkiff).

Midkiff plays the two timing charmer flawlessly. Rinna is just plain alluring. O'Grady goes back and forth from needy and frumpy to new found confidence and striking beauty. Also in the cast are Sally Kirkland and Carroll Baker. A good chick flick that a guy can learn from.

I thought this movie was good. I don't normally watch dramas like this one but I thought I would give it a shot! This movie was like any other movie where you have a married couple going through some marital issues. (Spoiler) The guy finds another woman, falls in love in love with her and divorces his soon-to-be ex-wife. However, the two women start to become close friends when they take swimming lessons together. The guy of course lies to the younger looking lady and ends up losing her as well! It kind of surprised me to see Charlotte Rae from the Facts of Life and Different Strokes shows making a cameo! I like the way it ended when the swimming instructor and the student were seen running towards the ocean to get away from it all!
